How many alcohol treatment facilities are in Florida?

SAMHSA lists 494 facilities offering substance use treatment in Florida, according to the FindTreatment.gov data reviewed for 2026. That total covers many levels of care, including 150 detox programs, 143 residential facilities, and 411 outpatient programs. Not every facility specializes in alcohol use disorder, so when you call, state the substance and the level of care you need.

What are the different types of rehab centers?

Programs usually fall into a few categories: detox, residential, hospital, partial hospitalization, intensive outpatient, and standard outpatient. Across Florida, 150 facilities offer detox and 143 offer residential care. Another 193 provide intensive outpatient, and 411 provide general outpatient. Telehealth is available at some programs too. The type that fits depends on the medical supervision you need and the structure that fits your daily life.

Is detox enough on its own?

Detox is usually a starting point, not a complete plan. Among the 494 facilities in Florida, 150 offer detox, but follow-up is common because alcohol withdrawal can be dangerous and ongoing counseling supports change. Outpatient programs are widely available, with 411 facilities offering them. Ask any program what it recommends after detox, and confirm that the transition is planned before you begin.

Does Florida Medicaid cover alcohol treatment?

Whether your plan pays depends on the plan itself and the level of care, and it is not automatic. Florida has 494 listed facilities, but not every one accepts Medicaid, so confirm before scheduling. Many programs also take private insurance. If you have no coverage, ask about sliding scales or state-funded options. You can call the treatment helpline at no cost, keep it private, and decide nothing about entering care.

What questions should I have ready when calling a Florida alcohol rehab center?

Ask which level of care they provide (detox, residential, or outpatient), whether medical supervision is part of it, and which insurance or Medicaid plans they accept. Options vary in Florida, where 150 facilities offer detox and 411 offer outpatient. Ask what follows detox as well, and whether follow-up counseling is part of the program. The helpline can help you weigh the answers with no pressure.

Alcohol Treatment Statistics Florida 2026: 494 Listed

Statewide figures are a starting point, not a verdict on any one program. The count of alcohol rehab centers in Florida comes from SAMHSA FindTreatment.gov listings, which capture facilities that report to the federal database. That does not promise an opening or a particular level of care, so treat the number as a map of where to begin inquiring.

For anyone weighing alcohol rehab options, the picture is more varied than a single total suggests. You will find stand-alone detox programs, residential settings, hospital-based care, and outpatient schedules that fit around a job. Medicaid and private insurance are often accepted, and many programs offer sliding scales. If you call the helpline, advisors can help you sort by level of care, payment type, and region, including places like Tampa, Orlando, or Hollywood where more choices tend to cluster.

Overdose trends in Florida

In the 12 months ending May 2026, Florida recorded 3,976 overdose deaths from all drugs, down 7 percent from 4,294 a year earlier, according to CDC NCHS provisional counts. That decline is meaningful, but the total still represents thousands of families. And the trend is driven mostly by the drug supply, not by alcohol, so it does not measure the demand for alcohol care or the risk that alcohol withdrawal carries.

When someone is deciding about alcohol rehab in Florida, the overdose trend matters mainly as context. It tells you the state has been investing in overdose response, including naloxone distribution through 446 programs. But people with alcohol use disorder usually need a different kind of help, from medically supervised detox to ongoing counseling. If you have been drinking heavily and want to stop, do not attempt a sudden cutoff without medical advice; alcohol withdrawal can be dangerous.

past year: 3,976
the year prior: 4,294

What the numbers mean for choosing care

On their own, statewide counts can feel abstract, but they translate into practical questions: how far will you drive, what insurance is accepted, and whether medical supervision is offered. Among the 494 SAMHSA-listed facilities, 150 offer detox, 143 residential, 117 partial hospitalization, 193 intensive outpatient, and 411 general outpatient. For someone entering inpatient rehab, the presence of detox on site often matters. For others, outpatient rehab may let them keep working. If you have Medicaid, then confirm the program accepts it before you make the trip. Naloxone is available through 446 Florida programs; carrying it is a separate, low-risk step while you figure out treatment.

Overdose deaths by drug

In the 12 months ending May 2026, there were 3,976 overdose deaths; opioids accounted for 2,260, with prescription opioids involved in 605 and fentanyl in 1,771. Cocaine was identified in 1,243 deaths and methamphetamine in 1,069. Heroin appeared in only 17. These counts are provisional, but they show how much of the crisis is driven by a toxic drug supply rather than a single substance; many deaths involve more than one drug. When people search for drug rehab in Florida, they often want programs that can handle both alcohol and other substances. Many facilities that treat alcohol use disorder also address co-occurring opioid or stimulant use. If the person you are concerned about uses more than one substance, then ask specifically about dual-substance care, because a program that treats only alcohol may not be enough. If you are calling for yourself, be honest about everything you use.
